How do waterborne disease outbreaks occur?

Waterborne disease outbreaks often occur when there is a breakdown in water treatment processes or when drinking water sources become contaminated. Natural disasters, such as floods, can also lead to the contamination of water supplies. Epidemiologists investigate these outbreaks by tracing the source of contamination and implementing control measures to prevent further spread.
